Police investigating the attack on two officers mown down by a car during recent riots have charged a 28-year-old man

A man has been charged with attempted grievous bodily harm with intent on two
police officers during recent rioting in London, Scotland Yard said today.

Jah-Kiel McDermott, 28, was arrested after the officers were mown down while
chasing looters during disorder in the capital on August 8. He will appear
in custody at Thames Magistrates' Court, in east London, tomorrow.

The policemen, who are based at Paddington Green police station, were chasing
looters from a clothes shop in Waltham Forest, northeast London, when they
were hit by a green Citroen which was driven at them.

One suffered a shoulder injury and the other suffered leg wounds in the
incident, which occured at around 1am on the night of August 8 - the second
of three nights of rioting which broke out across London.

Scotland Yard released CCTV footage showing a group of police officers chasing
suspected looters away from a shop,
